LaTeX2ConTeXt : external links not work after recompiled

LaTeX2ConTeXt : external links not work after recompiled

[VnPenguin]

Hi all,
Just recompiled the doc LaTeX2ConTeXt
(http://www.berenddeboer.net/tex/LaTeX2ConTeXt.pdf). The compiling
process is OK under tetex-beta 2.99.4.

But all external links not work! When I click on them, I go to the 1st
page of document.
Internal links work well.

Anyone could help me please.

Thank you in advance,
Quy NGUYEN-DAI

They work well here. I've just tried the document on
live.contextgarden.net, no problems there either. My teTeX is dated
20040711

Hmm, my tetex is 2.99.4.20041128-beta :(
Can't understand why ???

Quy, have you tried it in a different PDF viewer?
Not all platforms treat links the same.

I had a look at the PDF file and it is broken. I just downloaded
tetex2.99.4 but I wasn't able to reproduce the problem. I had tons of
other problems, though...

Oh,
In fact I have no problem with 2.99.4-beta. ConTeXt works fine, even
with Vietnamese Unicode input file. But all external links were broken
:(

[x] working ConTeXt
[ ] correct external links
[x] Vietnamese Unicode Input

Just tried this PDF with Acrobat 5.0 (Win2k) and I have the same
problem with external links :(

Thanks,

Hello Quy, Thomas,

I have looked into your problematic document, and it looks as if the
ConTeXt version in the tetex beta is broken in this respect.

--------------------------------------------------
\setupcolors
  [state=start]
\setupinteraction
  [state=start,color=blue]
\useURL
[contextsupport]
[http://www.pragma-ade.com/]

\starttext
Look at  \from[contextsupport]!

\stoptext
--------------------------------------------------

compiles fine, but shows the same error: the hyperlink does not point
to the website, but to the first page.

>  The compiling process is OK under tetex-beta 2.99.4.

As far as I can see, this tetex ships with

ConTeXt  ver: 2004.11.23 


OK is:

ConTeXt  ver: 2004.11.16

sigh.  this isn't a _ship_, it's a beta for experimentation (fwiw, the
op should have been mailing to the tetex-beta list: no matter..).

can someone please persuade hans to replace the context/current on his
web site with something that works.  what appears on context/current
gets to ctan, and what gets to ctan appears in tetex.  a mail to me
would expedite the corrected stuff appearing on ctan.

more serious is (i bet) that that context is also on the texlive tree,
and that really _is_ about to ship.

A fix in the works, I assume. Meanwhile ...

The ISO named texlive2004-inst-20041127.iso on CTAN dated is the one that 
is being burned, I assume? If so, then there is good news: TL does not
contain 2004.11.23 but version 2004.11.17, and that version works OK on
Patrick's example, using acroread 5.0.5 on linux. 

It is a bit odd that a beta version of context was used for production TL and 
does not have the bug whereas the tetex beta used the production version of 
context and does have the bug. ;-)

Greetings, Taco

don't worry, the bug is is not affecting the whole lot (only \from when used
with a url, the other \goto{}[url(...}] stuff is supposed to work; urls can be
set in many ways -)

concerning tex live: there's probably a bit older version in there (sebastian
got it directly from me); i'll check

i think that something went wrong when i patched the \from macro for handling 
the nested color support. The url support is rather dirty hooked into other 
mechanisms.

I'll upload a fix asap.

in core.ref.tex, patch:

\def\setouterlocation#1%
   {\ifundefined{\v!file:::#1}%
      \ifconditional\forceURLlocation
        \edef\otherURL{#1}%
        \let\otherfile\empty
      \else
        \let\otherURL\empty
        \edef\otherfile{#1}%
      \fi
    \else
      \let\doexternaldocument\setouterfilelocation
      \let\doexternalurl     \setouterfilelocation % <<< missing line
      \csname\v!file:::#1\endcsname
    \fi
    \setfalse\forceURLlocation
    \doifparentfileelse\otherfile
      {\let\otherURL\empty
       \let\otherfile\empty
       \global\let\otherlabel\empty
       \let\otherprefix\empty}
      {\xdef\otherlabel{#1}%
       \edef\otherprefix{#1::}}}

I need to rewrite this piece of code, currently there is some nasty overloading 
taking place (in order to safe hash entries i pack several things into one 
macro, which is used nested and which meaning gets overloaded)
